Answering a question for Spotify CEO Daniel Ek at AllThingsD, Sean Parker confirmed that "there was some indication" that Apple tried to keep Spotify out of the US market.

"There was some indication that that was happening," Parker said, "It's a very small industry in a lot of ways, certainly smaller than it was 12 years ago," He joked.

"We're in constant renegotiating so you hear things people send you emails," he said, "Apple was threatened by what we were doing."
